Travelling abroad for treatment

Has anybody travelled abroad for treatment? I know there is a world renowned doctor in New York.

Hi,

I unexpectedly got treated abroad due to an emergency, I know its not the same thing exactly.

I was travelling round the Netherlands & my ovary ruptured so I was rushed to Rotherdam hospital where they glued it back together via a Lap & also removed my Endo while there. I lost 4 pints of blood internally. The surgeon was an Endo specialist (luckily)

They sent me back to UK few days later in an ambulance across countries. That was a very painful, long journey but I was grateful for all they did. Language barrier was an issue at times!

There are several good ones in nyc, which one are you talking about specifically. You can just use his/her initials

Mr T S. But I am sure there are good people here. We have just seen some really horrible unempathic, unsupportive consultants and he seems so lovely in his book.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

yes he is lovely. I was operated on by him and we are friends now. I can even text him with my problem and he would reply. I live in New york city

Any reason whyyou wish to go abroad? If you Ade willing to pay have a look at Spire Elland in West Yorks. Private BSGE endo centre. The surgeon is highly recoommeded.

Thanks for your reply, I think I am just going a bit crazy thinking about how to get help.....we can't really afford it anyway. It's just that I read TS's book on treating endo and he seems so patient focused and supportive.

Have a look on the Elland hospital website there are links from there to the surgeons own websites which are very useful and informative. Its just a shame he no longer does NHS just private. Insurance will cover some of his costs but the shortfall is still a lot. I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy done by him and have been told I have endo on everything, only stage 2 at the moment, he also informs me that I need a hysterectomy as I have adenomyosis as well as multiple fibroids, also had a polyp removed. He tells me I have a very unhealthy womb!!. It might be worth your while just seeing him for a consultation, which is very thorough and is not at all rushed, I was in for over an hour. Depending on where you are in the country I think he consults out of Harley Street as well as West Yorkshire, although all procedures are done in West Yorkshire. Hope this helps.
